The sani ed dOuleh, or minister of pub
lie printing. is IA funCtionary who is often
CloSeted with the shah, as he is public
censor and nominal editor Of the official
journals. II is said that nothing goes into
these periodicals without first passing
under the eye of the shah. But rs they
appear only monthly and cover but four
pages in large type, the task Of editing is
more apparent than real.
The sani ed douleh also assists the shah
in editing his journals Of travel and pre-
pairing them for the press The most re-
cent work of this description is the account
Of the shahs excursion TO Mesched in
1882, in which the royal author gives some
Of his own conclusions concerning the
antiquities along the route he followed.
The work is illustrated with photographic
illustrations made from photographs.
These works as well as the official gazettes
are printed by photography. This may
seem a somewhat laborious and unneces-
sary process at the present age, for the
casting of Arabic characters, which the
PcrsianS use, has been often done, and
several volumes have been printed in India
in the Persian language from metal types.
But the Persians. with their exquisite
aesthetic feeling, cannot become habituated
to type printing as il is less soft, flowing
and flc..ible than the written character
Hence the preference for lithography,
which approximately gives them the deli
cate touches of the caligraphic art. A
sklllful scribe writes out each page as 1t is
to appear in the printed copy. This is

Mana Work and Woman's Toll.

Gail Hamilton has serious word TO say OF
her sex that all should read: Their spiritual
superiority is signified chiefly in this, that the
women work for love. the men for money
Thus she sums the matter up: The spiritua
advance made by man is seen chiefly in this
that so much of the money he earns goes To tn
ministry Of refinement, education, embellish
ment, to the wife and children whom he loves
But the woman sees no money for her toll
Her sufficient, her ample reward is in a hus
band, content, happiness, growing i'll grace.
in children, bounding to gracious maturity
The unmarried woman works for necessity,
for love Of her dependent ones, for love OF
some beautiful or beneticent profession. for
sweet mercy and charity to the ignorant, for
horror Of dependence upon those upon whom
she has no claim-seldom for business, amb-
ton or material accumulation.
The woman who makes a real failure, a
failure in her own business. is the unloved
woman, the grasping, the selfish, the repres-
sive, the sympa:hizinG, the censorious, the
untruthful, the woman who is a center of dis
comfort, a source of anxiety, an object Of
avoidance, instead of being that gentle. con-
solins, considerate, motherly magnet which
draws unto itself all human want and woe
and bliss and aspiration

A Talk About Wells.

The wells worn by most women during this
cold weather are far from being ornamental,
and really do not protect the face more than

Thermometer reaches the freezing point the
breath of the nostrils and mouth freezes on
the veil, and often chaps the chin, lips and
perhaps the tip of the nose. The veil should
just come over the tip of the nose. and in this
way there is room to breathe without injury
to either the skin or veil To avoid having
the face chapp-d one should be careful not
to wash it in warm water Just before going

in temperature that is harmful, not the cold
air.-New York Morning Journal.
